    Only way I like it is with lots of sugar or maybe maple syrup poured over the top. Yeah, that's why I don't eat oatmeal.......

    I eat 1/2 cup oatmeal w/ a dash of cinnamon, a packet of Splenda, and half of a banana chopped and mixed in. It's delicious!!!
  • Dark chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies! :happy:

    I have tried multiple times over the years to eat "hot oatmeal" and I just don't like it no matter how it's "fixed up". But I have no problem eating it in granola, cookies or grandma's oatmeal cake.

    Raisins, cranberries, and a bit of Splenda to sweeten it. Sometimes a few banana slices.
  • With fresh berries, walnuts, wheat germ, cinnamon and almond milk

    I like to defrost some frozen mixed berries and mix them in. When I'm feeling like a cheap *kitten* I put peanut butter in to (amaaaaazing).

    With a tbsp of honey and a splash of vanilla almond milk.
  • I like mine with a little brown sugar, almond milk and coconut oil. I also LOVE Better Oats Lavish Dark Chocolate oatmeal with peanut butter. YUM!

    1/2 cup of oatmeal with a Tbs of raw honey and a half cup of either frozen blueberries or raspberries (I toss them frozen into the hot oatmeal and let it thaw them).

  • I always get crap for it but I put tuna in my oatmeal. It is seriously not as bad as it sounds and a great way to get protein and good carbs.
  • Oatmeal cookies!
    JK I ate some for lunch:

    1/2 c oatmeal
    2 packs of sweet n low
    Dash of cinnamon
    Dash of ginger

    I mix a 1/2 cup raw oats (old fashioned kind) with 1 cup egg whites. The yummiest way is to whisk them really well and then cook like a pancake with lots of cinnamon. I top it with almond butter and a tablespoon of Barlean's strawberry-banana flax oil. Yum!!! I have also been adding a cup of spinach to the mix lately.

    plain oatmeal with peanut butter and banana in it is good

    but my favorite is the apple and cinnamon kind and then I take apple slices and break them apart and put it in there also. It's so yummy and for two packages plus the apples it's usually only 290-310 calories :D
  • The standard maple syrup, cinnamon, raisin works for me. I also like it with maple syrup and fresh blueberries spooned on afterwards.
    My favorite (and calorie heavy one) is maple syrup, dried cherries and chopped walnuts. SO. GOOD.

    I had it for lunch today
    a tablespoon of peanut butter for protein and a little pure maple syrup stirred in to make it extra tasty. YUM!

    I eat Steel Cut Oats with a scoop of whey isolate, tablespoon of pure almond butter(nothing but almonds), and a small splash of unsweetened almond milk.

    Banana-walnut-maple oatmeal.
    Strawberries and milk.
    Cranberry, almond and honey.

    I also like these muffins:
    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buttermilk-oatmeal-muffins/

    I make them with oil, but I have made them with apple sauce in the past and they were really good.
    * I have also made them with yogurt and a small amount of milk instead of buttermilk (because I was out of buttermilk) and they turned out fine. This would also raise the protein numbers.

    With a spoon. It falls off the fork.

    Okay, seriously. I stir in applesauce or canned fruit quite frequently. Another way I like but haven't made recently is:

    Take the water you're going to use to cook the oatmeal and add some dried fruit. Let it sit overnight -- then in the morning, boil it up and cook the oatmeal the same way you normally would. The dried fruit will get nice and plump, and flavor the whole bowl of oatmeal rather than just the little bits near it.

    Mixed with parm cheese, baby spinach, garlic salt, and topped with an over easy egg. SO good with the yolk mixing with the oatmeal.

    Lots of butter and sugar.....that's why I don't eat it that much! Those are not healthy condiments, but they taste sooo good!!!

    I LOVE it with just raisins. If you want to try oatmeal raw, you could always use it as a substitute for granola. For example, I like to mix my granola with vanilla yogurt and fresh berries. You could maybe top your yogurt with the oatmeal instead.

    My favorites:

    1. Newest: With milk (or 1/2 milk and 1/2 water), peach nectar and a bit of sugar. Tastes like peaches and cream! (Can try Strawberry nectar too)
    2. Go-to: A tablespoon of unsweetened Hershey's chocolate powder (or Nestle semi-sweet chocolate), a tablespoon of peanut butter and a few tsp. of sugar. BAM! A no bake cookie with the IMMENSE amounts of sugar!
    3. Almond milk, brown sugar, and craisins. Delicious and super healthy!
